The talk of building a steam rail
road from Stroud.-ilmrfj to the Wind
(lap lms been revived and meetings
held to further the scheme. Col.
John Jameson, of IJloomsburg, and
A. F. liiker, of Norritftown, Pa..
Both railroad contractors, are pro
motin.! it. A committee was ap
pointed, and tho following was writ-
ton and signed by the committee bo
fore adjourning :
At a meeting of the board of
trade and citizens of this town, as
sembled in tho Burnett House, for
tlie purjMise of taking steps towards
tho building of a railroad from
Stroudsburg to Wind Uap, the fol
lowing proposition was made by
Messrs. Jameson and Baker, via:
That for every dollar that the citi
zens of the county would subscribe
to tho enterprise, the said contrac
tors agree to bring two dollars. The
amount necessary for tho people of
Stroudsburg and vicinity to raise
was fixed at $10,000 nnd the follow
ing committee was appointed for
the purpose of visiting the business
men and property holders and soli
citing subscriptions for tho stock.
The committee are of the earnest
opinion that tho railroad would lie
of untold benefit to this borough and
throuirh tho portions of the county
in which it will run. This is the
best proposition wo have had and
we should do all in our power to ac
cept tho proposition of the contrac
tors and push the railroad to com
nletion. fR.

A Times representative inter
viewed Promoter Jameson in tho
Burnett House later in the evening.
Asked for an estimate as to cost of
completing construction the con
tractor thought about $12,000 per
milo would be about the figure. He
did not know at tho present time if
the old Pago route would be usod or
not. but thought that the route as
recently surveyed by Enginoer A.
F. Carrick, would be the most feasi
ble, as it touched all tho industries
in that portion of the county. The
Page route is nine and five-tenths
miles long and tho Carrick survey a
mile or so longer
Col. Jameson is one of the best
known railroad men in the country,
having built the Catawissa road from
Milton to Williamport, a distance of
thirtv-three miles; the northwest
branch of the Catawissa to Wilkes-
Barro, forty-five milos long ; Blooms
burg & Sullivan R. R., thirty miles ;
Kaliua branch of tho P. & R., eight
miles : Northern Penn for the P. &
R., from Bradyville to New Hopo, a
distance of seventeen miles j Har-
risburg & Potomac, seven miles ;
Williams Valley R. R., from Lykens
to Brooksido. twelve miles, and
of which he is president.

with him in seirVral roads and has

THE CHAUTAUQUA CIRCLE.
A Cloning Kiitc-rtnlninont of Much Inter
est and a Fine Programme Rendered.
Tho closing exercises of t he Mil
ord C. L. S. were held Friday even
ing Juno 13 nt the home of Mr.
Frank Crissman. A large company
of invited guests was present to en-
y tho literary and musical enter
tainment which was of a high order
nul evinced talents of which any
village might justly feel proud.
Tho program rendered was : Roll
call by the Secretary Miss Lube
Mott, each memlier responding with
a choice quotation. A pi ano duct by
the Misses Mott was well rendered
and a fit ting prelude to the numbers
which followed Mr. Bonsall was
next heard in n vocal solo " Last
night" and for an encore gave "La
Rameux." He has an excellent
voice which though not of great com
pass is clear, distinct and cultivated.
His singing was one of the pleasant
features of tho evening.
Mrs. Frank Crissman thon rend
ered "Tho Pipes of Lucknow". This
pathetic poem is founded on the
surrounding of a British fort in In
dia by Sepoys and at a moment when
the beleagured soldiers expect the
fort to bo stormed and they put to
death, they hear the glad sound of
the pilroch which announced that
relief was at hand. Mrs- Crissman
gave the audience a genuine surprise
for though her talents as a reader
are recognized and established, in
this little pobm,she brought out now
lights and shadows of feeling by her
masterly rendition, and beautiful
conception of the exact spirit of the
poet.
A quartette composed of Mrs.
Williamson, Mrs. Bonsell, Miss Bon
nett and Frank Cross sang with good
effect, and responded to the encore.
Rev. W. R. Neff amused the com
pany by a brief summary of the
work of the society as having wat
ched the development of the nation,
and closed his remarks with an effec
tive bit of satire on his own profes
sion. Miss Gallagher gave a vocal
solo "Land of Song" which produ
ced such a happy effect that she fur.
ther delighted her hearers with a
little song "Don't be cross". The
Misses Mott then fa vorod theasomb
lage witli Mazurka on the violin and
piano. After which Mrs. Crissman
read a carefully prepared essay on
Margaret Fuller. It would bo un
just to attempt any summary of this
able paper. It was written from an
admirers stand point of a woman of
whom it was said many years ago
by on eminent philosopher nnd m
tecloct worshipiier that "Acute en
dowinonts may belong to tho great
system of human progress which
with every ascending footstep as it
diminishes the necessity for animal
force, may lie destined gradually to
spiritualism us by refining away our
grosser attributes of hotly "
Margaret uller was ttie embodi
ment of intellect without the spirit
ualizing influence usually attribut
able to women, bho had no religion.
but was a transoendentalist of the
Schelling typo, and belonged to that
coterie of philosophers, which seeks
trom a purely Intellectual ground to
have a true knowledge of all tilings
human and divine so far as the
mind is callable of knowing.
Mr. Bonsell again delighted the
company with a vocal solo when
tho president, Rev. Thos. Isichols
made the closing address. Ho was
in a happy vein as ho 'portrayed the
wort ot the society during tho win
ter and pointed to the dizzy heights
to which they had scaled and to tho
profound depths of philosophy and
metaphysics which they had pene
trated in their researches for knowl
edge. It seems they have been
wrestling with a book on the sub
ject written by one Scripture and
from the comments of the learned
sMdiker it might lie supposed that
Mr. Scripture had by some miracle
escaped the lynx-eyed Mr. Bok, or
he would to-day bo editing the meta
physical column of the Lames
Homo Journal.
Regrets were expressed that Mr.
and Mrs. S. A. Johnson, who were
tho originators and prime movers in
organizing tho society here, and
who wm considord as its most ef
ficient ami zealous members were
absent.
Refreshments were provided at
the close and an hour spent jn social
intercourse. The members are to bo
congratulated on the excellence of
t)u) entaiutainment, and all came
away with the feeling that the even
ing bud been one of pleasure and
profit.

Generoalty of Mr. Bead el.
Mr. Frederick Beadol has gener
ously donated a number of books to
tho Milford Lyceum Association.
There are several historical volumes,
standard poems, and a number of
novels. Altogether tho collection
will add largely to tho value and in
terest of the library, and Mr. Beadol
deserves the thanks of all who wish,
to see .this association widen its.
scope for usefulness in our com
munity . It cordially invites patron
age and certainly our people cannot
lnd support'lioth moral and finan
cial to any object bettor calculated
to advance the literary tone of our
society than to aid this association.

The complexion of the men and
women in tho Puget Sound country
is said to be very clear and their
skin is moist and smooth. This ia
due to thoir cloudy weather and to
their humid atmosphere. The dry,
dusty weather of tho interior of
Washington with its abundance of
sunshine produces an opposite effect
upon the residents. The contrast is
striking. A harlier in Olyuipia. says
that if he were blindfolded he could
tell every subject from the interior
who should sit in his chair by tho
dryness and harshness of his hair.
We ought not to defer the execu
tion of a work that is necessary. -Cowley.
